| Popis: | Tendinopathies are common causes of pain around the elbow resulting in significant functional impairment in athletes or the working-age population. Patients complain of a gradual onset pain with or without any specific trauma. Tissue histology shows chronic fibroblast and vascular proliferation, with a disorganized collagen pattern and absence of inflammatory mediators. Currently, numerous treatment options are described, but many of these are only supported by a heterogenous evidence base. Thus, management guidelines are difficult to define. Surgery is mostly indicated in selected cases that have failed non-operative management. This article reviews the pathophysiology and natural history of lateral and medial elbow tendinopathies, as well as distal biceps and triceps tendinopathies, and their current treatment options. |
